I'm working with a ASP.NET project. We are passing params through the url and every time a single quote is passed the url changes all single quotes to %27 and the actual value read in through the javascript changes all single quotes to '
Can someone tell me how I can maintain the single quotes as our parameters need to match the exact values. This is my code.
public class Model
{
public string example {get; set;}
}
public ActionResult Index(string example)
{
var model = new Model();
model.example = example;
return View(model);
}
Index.cshtml at the bottom ---------------------
<script type="text/javascript">
var example = "@Model.example";
Main();
</script>
Javascript -----------------
console.log(example);
Examples: www.example.com?example=Turtle's_Are_Cool Changes the url instantly to => www.example.com?example=Turtle\%27s_Are_Cool and the JavaScript outputs Turtle's_Are_Cool
If you want to do it on the server side you can use Server.URLEncode("Turtle's_Are_Cool"))
If you want to manage the same on client-side you can replace ' with '
example = example.replace(/'/g, "\'");
But if you have got a single quote coming from server-side and you want to convert it at client-side then the easiest way is to use HTML element as shown in the below question
